Please do also comment on the aspect that Graham mentioned, that allegedly Benitez had found out that Rybka has nothing from Fruit. Sorry, I am also interested in the very truth. But then we cant just discard such informations.
What is there to comment on? I've seen the code from all three examples that we looked at. What Benitez says doesn't mean a thing without something to support the statement. It would take a _lot_ of convincing to make me discount what I have seen to date.
I had already told Rolf that was not what I said.
